Baseball has another Lowe-down cheater

Baseball has another Lowe-down cheater

From the article: Our MetroWest Daily News colleague Lenny Megliola reports today that Sox owner John Henry was less than impressed when Lowe brought a galpal – not wife Trinka – to a Boston event they both attended last year. We'll have to wait and see if Henry resigns Damon. Or maybe Damon gets a pass since he married his mistress.

The few, the proud: Number of black starters dwindles in majors.

Well it kinda bothers me a little, speaking as a black woman who is a big baseball fan. There's such a tradition of great Black American players in the sport. Nowadays, I'm lucky if I see more than a handful of other black fans in the stands much less on the field. I wonder if my (as yet unborn) kids will even be interested in it. Granted my kids will also be mixed race and I need someone out there more appealing than slimeball Derek Jeter. More than anything, I'm just curious about the causes of the decline. ESPN2 did a article about this a year or two ago too.
